OBTO
The Manifesto

We got tired of renting black boxes.
So we built a glass one.

True intelligence shouldn't be a subscription you're held hostage by. It should be infrastructure you control.

For decades, enterprise software development was a walled garden. If you wanted to build complex integrations, manage APIs, or stand up reliable applications, you had to navigate massive proprietary systems, brittle code, and vendor lock-in.

Then came the AI boom. Instead of democratizing development, we watched the industry repeat the exact same mistakes. Companies were asked to pipe their proprietary data into opaque, "Black Box" LLMs, hoping for the best, with zero control over the logic, the infrastructure, or the escalating costs.

As architects and engineers who have spent years untangling complex enterprise systems, we knew this wasn't sustainable. You cannot build the future of your business on a foundation you aren't allowed to see or own. SaaS fatigue isn't just a pricing issue; it's an architectural vulnerability.


The OBTO Mission: Open Source Democracy

We built OBTO to be the world's first open-source democratic architecture for Agentic AI. We provide the infrastructure, the visual builders, and the runtime. But we enforce radical observability.

1

You see everything

Trace every token cost, every prompt, and every decision tree in real-time. No hidden operations.

2

You own everything

Connect your own databases, bring your own models, and enforce standard integrations via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).

3

You can leave anytime

Because we are containerized on Kubernetes by default, you can take your AI workflows off our cloud and deploy them directly onto your own servers.

We are engineers building for engineers, founders, and operators.

We are making AI transparent, portable, and astonishingly affordable.

Welcome to the Glass Box.
